@@forrealtho06 I get the point about focal length, but people are saying the same about the aperture of the big 100-500 and the 800 f11. And both are absolutely excellent lenses in a multitude of ways. I’d never want to trade a kg or so of weight for a bit more light at the long end. The difference really isn’t as big as you may think. I feel like the people who always hate in the comment section never touched one of those RF pieces and just read off a spec sheet.

Thanks for the review. These are very informative for us trying to decide whether to move from an SLR with EF-S lenses (like the 90D). It'd be super helpful if you decided to try some third party lenses as well, like the Tamron 18-400 or Sigma 18-300. Cheers?

This is great! I'm looking at getting the R7 body (no longer considering the RP) and coming from the old DSLR Rebel T5i with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens AND the EF-S 55-250mm featured here, it's great to see your Re-review for the 55-250. It was an impulse buy 10 years ago when I purchased it and it's great to see it's still somewhat useful when stopping down. I would love to see a Re-review on the 18-55mm as I'm considering on keeping those lenses, along with the 50mm EF f1.8 I purchased years later. Keep up the great work with the Re-reviews!

I have an old version of this lens adapted to my R7 and have a lot of fun with it. Haven't tested it but being a lens I had from a previous camera the chance keeping it alive it's great

Thank you for this amazing review!

This is a great intermediate quality lens. It came as a 2nd kit lens on some of the Canon crop cameras so there are a ton of them out there on the used market, often for less than usd 100. I'm keeping mine for a backup and a wildlife lens when I need a little more reach than my 135mm.

The lens i use for my motorsports photography! Good lens, though I've seen its weakness in situations where i have to use max zoom. Aside from the obvious auto aperture adjustment that makes things underexposed, it's not as sharp as compared to using its mid focal lengths.. it also vignettes.

I adapted this lens onto my Canon R6 Mark II and it’s amazing. Being a crop sensor lens, the R62 automatically crops the full frame sensor. The STM motor works great with mirrorless autofocus.

Interested in seeing what the R7 could do with the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8. Great video as always

I suspect that this lens, like many, has a fair bit of variability in the manufacture. My copy is probably somewhat of a golden sample. It's one of my sharpest lenses, outperforming a few lenses that, according to various tests, should be sharper. Or maybe the copy tested here is a poor one.

Agreed, mine has always produced really sharp images, but i haven't done a test like these with an R7, so i can't really tell if it's better or not, on my M50 it looks great.

I had the older version of this lens, the IS II for my EOS 90D, which has the same 32 MP sensor. Especially zoomed in, the softness was easily noticeable even by someone like me. That's when I gave in to my inner evil, and got the 70-300mm L lens. It's my first L lens, and boy oh boy is it fantastic!

Love your reviews Christopher. It is marvellous that they always focus on the equipment, not on you! This last review confused me a bit though, you pretty much raved about this lens in 2014 on a 20Mp camera, but now are saying that based on your 32Mp tests that it would likely be pretty mediocre on 20Mp...? I always wonder too about target image testing such as that which you now do. Does such testing not constrain the distance to target and thus perhaps indicate somewhat different performance from real world tests at different focal distances. Were your older reviews of the brick building done in real outdoor conditions or were they also of a target - also, if they were outdoors, was focus distance different from those done with your current test target? Overall though, really do enjoy and trust your reviews. Thank you for the great work!

I miss that lens! It performed really well when paired with my old 80D!

Hello Christopher. Thank you very much for your excellent videos! I'm excited about the different camera-lens combinations you've already tested. I shoot with a Canon R5 and am thinking about getting a Canon EF 28-300 L. Have you had any experience with this combination or could you even make a video about it? In any case, I would be very happy about it. Thanks a lot - keep up the good work!

I have loved some the shots I've been able to get with this lens on my M50 MKII 7 32.5mp Canon M6 MKII! Great overall lens.

SWEET! This is probably my favorite lens.

Like a few others here, I do use this lens with my M6II. Before this I was using a 24mp 200D and the images I got on that cam with this lens was so sharp wide open both at 55mm and 250mm. I do agree maybe the 32.5mp of my M6II (and the R7) pushes this lens a bit too far coz I did notice my images becoming a bit softer, but I'm also inclined to agree that there's definitely sample variations coz my images are not as soft as the ones here. Still, a great re-review Chris! I'll continue using this till I save up enough for a 70-300 or 100-400 L lens :)

Fantastic walkaround lens with the R7 with a raynox R 150 or R 250 for real macro/small mamals/nearby birds and landscapes/plants. I haven´s yet found a lens this versatile with a low weight and with the same sharpnes to fit my R7 (and my raynox lenses). It´s my No 1 choise when i want to walk around lightweight and be able to shot always anything (but wide angle shots).

Thanks for reviewing this lens again on the R7.

On my 77d, I always liked this lens...bought after your original view. I always found it sharper than a lens of this price/size should be! I miss it's light and compact size.

Thanks for the re-review! I have this lens on my R7 and was wondering how it compared to the new Canon RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM. I watched both of your reviews back-to-back and decided the new lens is not improved enough to replace my EF-S 55-250mm IS STM lens. Slightly better image quality but a reduced zoom range and a smaller maximum aperture doesn't make jump up and proclaim "I must have it." I'll save me tuppence for a more compelling lens. 🤠

This lens also works incredibly well on the 90D. I was having soft issues with my more expensive lenses until I realised that 90D only really works with post 2009 lenses and this one was released in 2013 so is brilliant. I bought it for £150 back in 2016 and now it sells on Amazon for £309 because it's just such a great lens. I would recommend using this with a flash for indoor wedding photography to be able to use the f8 aperture.

So glad I chose the much smaller, slightly shorter, slightly darker 55-210 RF. It's way better, based on your review. And this STM is quite expensive used.

I would also love to you test it again with a more modern canon R camera since I still use a DSLR and would like to see how it would fair on a mirrorless camera if I ever chose to upgrade in the future (I'm not really planning that though).

I have been very impressed with this lens on my M6 mark II, with its 32 MP sensor very similar to that in the R7. I don't think it's soft in the centre, and I really like it for larger wildlife, like polar bears.

I really like the ancient 17-35mm 2.8L too though and I have been considering a canon 10-22mm efs f3.5 for wide angles, can be had for $220 right now. Not sure if the f3.5 will let enough light in though.

With your advice I know i can be one of the best event photog's in my area. Forgive me for not directly commenting on the content in this video, i'll play it on repeat at .25x speed to make up for my discretion. Cheers to you! Edit: Ok i ran it for 3 hours and in that time I picked up a canon 17-55m f2.8 for $350 in good condition

Great review! How does this lens perform with R7’s focus tracking in dynamic situations? Is it effective/fast enough?

I have this lens shortly bought after it's release - its my go-to zoom onto my EOS 40D/50D, still.

i had this lens and the m50 mki for a few days and the images were amazing, surprisingly amazing and the contrast was amazing with the m50, even now i look compared to my L lenses and it's still look good

Thanks for the video Chris. I bought this as part of a budget beginner wildlife kit along with a 40d. Not too fancy but less than $200 total and it makes a great training setup. The strong part of this lens to me is that it is well built for how light and plastic it is and they can be found for around $110 used. The autofocus seems really fast and precise for birds using a single AF point. Just instantly snaps into focus and it can even work around a few twigs. Now that I have my gateway drug I am looking at a 7dm2 or maybe even an R7 so it’s very helpful to know how this lens does with higher megapixel sensors.

I just got my R7 and had to test this lens on a tripod, sure enough at 250mm f8 is a step up in contrast and sharpness. Not having the exact same test chart I can't say if my copy is the same or better than Christopher has, but it's similar enough I'd vouch for his results. Problem is the perception of image sharpness is different for everyone, if you're Ken Rockwell then this lens is sharper than a whole bag of razor blades and 10 years ago this level of image quality was revolutionary for a kit lens, you are genuinely going to get better images using this over an old EF 70-200 f2.8 zoom that costs $2,000 and weighs four times more. Pretty sure the RF 70-200 f2.8 is in another class though. Regardless, it's not that the lens is "sharp and f8 and blurry at f5.6" it's "sharp at f5.6 and tack sharp at f8".

Very curious how the features and handling compare to the other tele options for RF mount. Was hoping you would do a comparison. Absolute resolution isn’t everything, for me at least. On that note you say you are disappointed by the results but what other lens has sharper images for the same size and price?

Hi, which do you recommend between Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM or EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM? I don't have money for an L version :(

It might unfortunately be a long while before I get to explore the R series...but until then, my 55-250 STM unit is still giving me great results on my EOS M6 :)

sir, how about comparing with rfs55-210?

I had almost bought this lens for my M50. The Canon guy had told me that the 70-300mm was sharper and I got that one and I am still pleased with the purchase.

Lots of people rave about the sharpness of the 55-250 STM, but I think it's a dog on my M50. Not sure if I have a bad copy, but like you said, you have to go to f8 to get anything sharp out of it at longer lengths (which is where it primarily will be used), which makes it almost unusable in anything other than good day light. It's so bad I might end up taking the 70-300 mk1 away travelling with me. The whole reason I bought the 55-250 was for its small size and weight! EDIT : other people are saying that they are getting good results - I imagine this cheaper lens probably suffers massively from sample variation...

I must have a great copy because it's ridiculously sharp on my m6ii. I have two minor gripes. It occasionally hunts, or even fails to find focus for no apparent reason and vignetting at 5.6.

Can you say how the lens IS works together with the IBIS on non-RF lenses?

I think a re-review of the Canon EF-40mm pancake lens would be very interesting!

We use this on the Fuji X H2 and it's pretty sharp, I'm not getting that blur at 55mm.

Could you do a rereview for the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM?

55-250 or 18-135? which one is better. I want to use it with my M50 Mark II. I have a kit lens and an EFM of 22 mm.

Before upgrading to Canon RP, I had Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 and Sigma 17-50mm F2.8. I would like to see Christ do re-review on the R7. Now, I am still keeping the Tokina 11-16mm as I still don't have the budget for the RF 16mm lens.

Current used price for this in the US is well under $100! A bargain with the understanding that a slow lens shines in daytime sunny locations. I'm in the market for a used 70-300 nano which will have a little more reach and build quality but may not improve image quality.

Old lens: 5:28 vs. New Lens: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dWlqm9qzmJi0ZM4.html Scary how Canon manages to continually improve their budget lenses. 10 years ago the EF-S 55-250 IS STM was one of the best kit lenses ever made, I think an argument could be made it would still outperform the new RF-S 55-210 IS STM at the longest focal length given the extra 40mm of telephoto reach, but the new RF-S 55-210 certainly appears to be much more useful across its zoom range.

The 55-250 lens of the latest STM version is the crown of technology, a very serious lens with a light weight. Competitors and canon itself have no modern analogues of this quality. It resolves 24 megapixels of the matrix, it does this even at maximum zoom. Photos from him can be cropped in a 1000 mm crop and posted on social networks, they will be very sharp. (the main thing to understand is that at a distance of more than one kilometer, the air itself will spoil the picture - this is physics! ) Moreover, it has a 1.4 converter from kenko hd, so the optics are so seriously resolved that the installation of this teleconvector does not spoil the final picture, a good convector + optics resolves with a margin. I also like that he starts twisting the side at 250 mm, like a Russian Gelius.

Hello fron France, Christopher ! Could you explain which optics law is as stake when a lens has worse sharpness with a 30 Mp sensor than a 20 ? Diffraction appears whith larger apertures due to the smallest pixels but i don't think this has to do with sharpness at f/4 or f/5.6. Am I wrong ?

As an amateur for many years starting with a Canon 70d then 80d and finally a 6d ii three years ago and owning many lens for street and indoor photography I have, thanks to you learned quite a lot from your in-depth videos from way back in 2015 until today. So it is good to see you back ( even though you review Nikon as well..! ) I wanted to know what you would recommend in the the way of Canon R cameras as i am confused by the variety of models that Canon has thrown at the market in the last few years. I finally realised that mirror less ( I’m 61 nearing 62 ) is the way to go not just for weight so it would be great if you mentioned a few R models. I glad you still include really important information regarding how an image should look corner to corner as well as in the centre. I could never get all the details with my 80d hence my upgrade to full frame but now it’s time to switch again. Looking forward to many more videos from you out of glorious Wales!

My fav lens of all time, too bad no good on my full frame :(

Just as a speed booster narrows the picture from full frame to APS-C, a 1.4 converter widens the EF-S picture to full frame size. And also: the 1.4 converter does not stick out to damage the mirror. Only: Canon's and Sigma's converters stick out on the front, so that you still have to remove, widen or replace the plastic disk, but Kenko's converter does not stick out on either side. And the modern Canon R cameras regognize the Canon and Sigma (but not my Tamron!) EF-S lenses as APS-C and force a 1.6 crop. No way getting around it, as far as I know.

I don't know, sharpness seems fairly average to me. But I really don't like the rendering, lackluster stabilisation and the lack of luminosity, and that's much more important to me.. in comparison, the EF-S 10-18 is superb

@@DeputyNordburg Reverse mount the Canon EOS DSLR to the EF-S 55-250mm using Movo AF (Auto Focus) Reverse Mount Macro Lens Converter for Canon EOS DSLR and you will have the best and most versatile "MACRO ZOOM LENS". YOU can even mount a Canon macro ring flash to this rig.

Because of you I decided to buy this lens for $100. Best money I ever spent.

Yes it has wobbly if u shake it due to its Optical stabilization on the lens hehe

I got this lens for my canon R50 for 65 pounds and is using with meike adapter. The autofocus is so slow and pictures are not sharp

I've used this lens extensively on my M6 mkii for taking insects and butterflies. I've had some great results. As a pairing, the combo weighs very little. One of the strongpoints of this lens, for me, is the minimum focus range of around 0.85m, perfect for butterflies.

Do you max 250mm so you can have that min focus?

@@MowMent I use it at 250mm for close up shots of bugs and butterflies. The big advantage over a standard macro lens is that I can take shots at 1m range so that I don't disturb the bug.

I put a efs 18-135mm f3.5 /5.6 stm to my eos m6 mark ii that has 32,5 megapixels sensor.. and it cant handle the big megapixels sensor hahaha except for video.. its quite sharp

I took this lens to Africa in 2019. On my M6mkii, I took hundreds of pictures through our moving minibus windows and most were keepers. For the money and the weight, you won't find a better lens for a Canon APSC camera. I hope that the new RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM is not considered to be a replacement for this lens.

Still waiting for old school sigma 17-50 2.8 + r7 combo 😘

If one could find this used for say 100€, its a great lens still!
